Why look at it

This is particularly relevant if you are already working on a youth-led project and want structured support, mentorship and an international community around it, rather than simply submitting an idea for a one-time prize.

Before you apply

Read the official challenge requirements carefully and make sure your project fits the challenge's focus on youth-led projects and real-world social impact.
